Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

08/19 - JD Custom Ringtone edition

Now that cell phones have improved in sound quality over the years from polyphonic ringtones to now full blown mp3 ringtones, users can express their personality through their ringtone.  I recall getting my first PDA phone right when Jackass 2 game out on DVD.  I became hooked with the music video they had at the end of that movie.  The Jackass crew lipsynced to Peaches - F the Pain Away.  I liked it so much that I had to download it as my ringtone the first second I could.  Well later that week, I ended up going to a packed sneak preview showing of 300.  Since my PDA phone was really high tech and complicated, I ended up thinking that I turned my phone on silent, but actually turned it to LOUD.   Well during a quiet part of the movie, my cell phone decides to ring, and the entire theater kept on yelling expletives at me and I frantically tried to shut off my phone.  It was a touch screen phone so I fumbled around trying to silence the sound, and then I tried just rejecting the call, but the entire song continued to play.  If you aren't aware, this song is just full of profanity...so the fact that hundreds in the theater could hear with mp3 clarity what was coming out of my phone made it a lot more embarassing than if I had one of those Nokia phones from the late 90s. 

 

So Bedge...what is your main ringtone?  Do you have custom ringtones for certain people?  If you had Ben, Dave, or any other Bedger in your cell phone and had to give them a custom ringtone, what would it be?

I hate vibrate.

It scares me really, really bad. I figure a hornets nest has somehow lodged itself in my pocket. I jump. I scream. I run around. When I finally answer the phone, the other person asks why they can sense fear and panic dripping from my every word. My heart basically stops beating for a while.

Other than that it’s ok.

ya i don’t call much. mainly text. its a lot easier. plus you don’t really interrupt conversations with people around you by taking a phone call.

a lot of people are like: ‘whats so great about texting? why not actually talk to someone?’ but texting is a lot more convenient

But then you have to call the person

wait for them to pick up, and then say “I am running late, be there in 5 minutes” and then they say “ok” and then you say “later”, and that assumes that they don’t ask things like “what happened?”

Oh, text is much easier

At least it used to be before my phone’s buttons wore down and need to be hit twice to work.

But a quick text, or an explanation that comes out better in writing, or when you really don’t want to talk and you know if you call the person they’ll want to talk when all you want to do is relay one simple piece of info OR ask them something…

Texting is nice. Just like email is nice!

I'm already wierd about phone (does that make me old?)

I hate the way they make me feel like Pavlov’s dog, responding to the bell. I refuse to let the phone overtake my life, and that really irks a lot of people. I’ve stopped telling people that I screen my calls (I get a ton of wrong numbers) just because they act like it’s immoral.

I like this story:

By nature, French artist Edgar Degas was conservative. His friend the etcher Jean-Louis Forain believed in progress. Forain had recently installed that newfangled invention, the telephone. Arranging to have a friend phone him during the meal, he invited Degas to dinner. The phone rang; Forain rushed to answer it, then returned, beaming with pride. Degas merely said, "So that’s the telephone. It rings and you run."

I think it has to do with all the highlight reels of him that are out there… make it so they can talk themselves into it… plus, aside from some gray hair, he largely looks the same as he did 10 years ago… he just can’t tell which team to throw to anymore.

The guy was good, but off the top of my head I can name about 8 qb’s who are more accomplished than him:

Montana
Aikman
Bradshaw

Elway
Marino

Active: P. Manning, Tom Brady.

He won one superbowl and lost another. Already Ben Roethlisberger has more championships than he ever won.

That movie doesn’t really have disturbing scenes either. Everyone thinks it does, but it’s a testament to Fincher’s direction that he was able to create that type of atmosphere without showing anything extremely graphic. It’s mostly description.

Gotta have custom ring tones.....it's so easy to do.

I make my own, editing MP3 files….

When the wife calls, my phone sings “Gimme All Your Lovin’” by ZZ Top

When my son calls, the phone sings “Fishin’ In The Dark” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (he’s a great fisherman)

When my daughter calls, it sings “There She Goes” by Sixpence None The Richer (if you knew her, you’d understand)

And when the parents call, I hear “These Days Aren’t Crazy Enough” by the Pulsators.

Anyone else calls and it’s “One Love” by the man himself…Bob Marley.

cell phones are evil (rant)

a true bane on society. I suppose a necessary evil to some degree, but I don’t like what I see of most people using cell phones. It’s like their lives are all wonderful when that text message comes through, or in sheer bliss when yet still another call provides interruption of a what was a face-to-face conversation. You know people’s self-worth is questionable when a ring-tone makes their day complete.

And when are people going to start getting fined for driving and using a cell phone?. I truly believe they are as dangerous as drunk drivers. I’ve yet to see one … person … who is actually paying attention to the road or other drivers when celling and driving. There’s some kind of out-of-body experience thingy going on with these people.

Oh well, it shouldn’t be too long before the brain cancer epidemic gets enough attention to snap these addicts out of their cellular euphoria.

The other night had friends over for croquet and I swear every 5 minutes one of their cell phones were ringing with texts or wasssup calls. So they’d have to stop playing to return the text or chat. At one point I asked them why not turn off your cells for the evening and they all told me essentially to get bent.

It feels like I am always criticizing him, and I know it looks bad as an Oden proponent that I am…

But why has he not gotten any bigger since joining the NBA? Texas has no weight training program, as we saw with LMA and Durant. He has added no muscle in 2 years… he looks very soft and weak.

You sometimes see it in bigger black woman, this smooth softness that doesn’t show muscles at all no matter how much Z-Bo works out. Which he allegedly always has.

Hmm… guys who look soft, muscle wise…

That’s a tough one. Because it’s not softness from being fat, where we could name a few guys like that, but softness from no muscle TONE at all. Even the dirt skinny guys like Corey Brewer have muscle tone.

Durant’s body remind me more of a naturally skinny guy who doesn’t work out a lot. In real life, I know lots of people who look like that, but in the NBA… no. I can’t think of any, besides guys who are slightly chubby or came into the league chubby, like Marcus Williams or something. Lazy guys.

And Durant is a gym rat, so he isn't lazy

Man Durant is a weird case to me. Every other skinny guy like him has veins popping, you can see his muscles under the skin…

I’m not even sure of my ‘point’, if there is one. Just a weird body type to still be so undeveloped after 2 years, even by just growing and getting older as a man, and not just an athlete.

Maybe Durant is such a gym rat that he never makes it over to the weight set

It isn’t unheard of among the genetic freaks that inhabit the NBA for players to not lift weights. Paul Shirley once said on a BS podcast that Amare was forbidden from lifting weights because he would put on so much muscle that he would start looking like a Lavar Arrington.

Either that or he is ashamed for being able to only bench press 185 lbs once at the rookie combine that he has decided to never lift another barbell the rest of his life.

If it turns out you need antibiotics – YOU NEED THEM NOW, not later

Infection kills live tissue to the point of leaving scar tissue. Do not wait, better to find out you do not need antibiotics, then to need them and find out late.

You might not need anything, pulling wisdom teeth is traumatic.

When my wisdom tooth were growing in

It kinda hurt, and they made a space/hole in the area they were growing in and it really hurt for a bit and after a week or so I finally dug into the hole with a toothpick and pulled out a g’oll dang SESAME SEED. It felt instantly better after I removed it.

It was gross.

After that though, the wisdom toothses got done growing in and all was right in the world and my gap in my front teeth was closed a bit. Man, that sesame seed hurt though…

Tony Durant is averaging a team-high 16.2 points and 6.4 rebounds for Butler (9-11)

But she was 2nd chair in her very first case that went to trial (which is a big deal for a lady who has only been a lawyer for 2 years), and she kicked butt and everything went great.

Almost TOO great, though, so she is worried…

She is defending a teacher and a school being accused of sexual harassment by two crappy parents and their two crappy kids. They don’t like the teacher because he is gay. It is at a private Jewish school.

Teacher says “no, he’s Christian, he was sworn in on the bible etc etc” and kid says “if he is a Christian why is he circumcised? It proves he is Muslim” and the teacher says “aren’t you circumcised? Does that mean you are Muslim?” SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

Another is he showed some cartoon comedy video about the war of 1812. In the background of one of the scenes is scribblings on a cartoon chalkboard, where you can see the cartoon outline of a weiner and balls. It is less than 2 secs and you only see it if you are looking for it (it was not the focal point of the shot). The kid says that is sexual harassment.

Meanwhile, same kid was kicked out of a previous school for drawing weiners on the toilets in the bathroom, and drawing poop on the toilet seats.

The kids came across like little crap holes and the parents extra creepy and weird, so hopefully she gets a win under her belt…

I remembered the 3rd story

The other kid in the case, he was asleep in class, and the teacher flicked water on him.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT.

I swear those are the full stories. No creepy lines, nothing sexually suggestive, the other kids testified he never talks about his sexual persuasion or anything sexual at all in class. It is crazy.

Civil lawsuits are tons of fun to read

The plaintiff lawyer writes it up as is the defendant is the worth person to ever breathe air. I love reading those. When we get ‘em at work, it’s like “Plaintiff then maliciously, and without regard for human life, rammed his Geo Metro into my client’s frail Ford F350. My client suffered permanent, devastating injuries that will no doubt leave him in pain for the rest of his life.”

Truth: Bumper scratches, 1 urgent care visit.

The lesson as always: people are dumb.

that's really interesting...i haven't met many people that fear to fly...

maybe business travel has warped my perception…my wife and i made an effort to make sure our kids didn’t have that fear…put our first on a plane when she was 4 months and did the same to the second…short trips like to visit family in cali, etc…then a couple longer ones to Florida and NY to visit more family…also did a few roadies too.

last year, we took them to Europe (our anniversary but wanted them to be with us)….5 countries in 3 weeks…my daughter, at that time was 3, asked if she can stay in Paris….hahaha

so now both of them go through security by themselves..take their shoes off, backpack, etc…hahahah

we know they won’t remember much from it, but hopefully, leads them to be travelers and more well rounded humans in the future…

so bottom line, if this really doesn’t help, someone tell me now…hahahaha

yuck no thanks

there is something so unappealing about the north east. I wouldn’t mind vacationing in NYC but I certainly would not want to live there

they were one of the schools that really made an effort to talk to me… but living in New York just wasn’t right for me.

rereading it, it did sound snobby. I meant more along the lines of “I was unsure of living in New York so I didn’t pursue it.”

That's why Hubby left when he was around 20.

He wasn’t a fan either.

Go to NYU Stern :)

In one of my former companies the Taiwanese CFO went there. He CFOed circles around his German counterpart who had mainly been trained in-house.

I always thought a good way to keep neighbor kids out of your yard

Would be to fill a bunch of 5 gallon buckets and leave them out so the parents got the hint.

Could Microsoft please freeze development of Windows on the state of version 7 for companies and people that want backwards compatibility and start fresh from the ground up?

Vista sucks, and Windows 7 still brings most of the same old junk with it. Whenever I just want to do something with it, there are new updates, new virus definitions, new everything. And it just isn’t user friendly and productive.

I also hate progress bars that don’t show progress, but just go back and forth with no indication how long this will take to show “yeah, we know you are already waiting too long, but hey, at least the program hasn’t crashed yet”. Thanks Microsoft and McAffee and Co.

O'Neal stole Nash's idea
Shortly after O’Neal was traded to the Suns in February 2008, Nash mentioned to his new teammate a reality show he was pursuing. It would feature the Suns point guard taking on professional athletes in their own sport.

The topic didn’t come up again until early in the 2008-09 season, when O’Neal boarded the Suns bus and told the team he would be starring in a new reality show in which he would be taking on, you got it, professional athletes in their own sport.

“You mean the idea you stole from me?” one Suns representative said he heard Nash say.

Nash eventually sought out an entertainment lawyer, according to sources, which is why he now has an executive-producer credit and the compensation that comes with it.

yeah

Please make it and ask why it’s cool to be a fan of underdog teams but not underdog players.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
